Photo taken in 1975. 1939 Morris Super Six FGU 616 as it looks in July 2005. So its migration to several screen sightings on this Bedford seems a bit of unexplained naughtiness. Maybe the Cordanis also own(ed) the Bedford and used to swap the plates around when they were bored because there was nothing good on the telly and imcdb didn't exist.
